New Klein Tools Folding Jab Saw: Finally, a Blade That Won't Shred Your Tool Bag

You know that moment when you're digging through your tool bag and feel something sharp slice through the fabric? Or when your jab saw blade hooks onto literally everything except what you're trying to cut? Yeah, Klein Tools noticed that too, and they did something about it.

The new Klein Tools folding jab saw (model 31757) is one of those "why didn't someone think of this sooner" tools. It's a 6-inch multi-purpose jab saw that folds completely in half, which means no more exposed blade playing demolition derby with your other gear. This isn't Klein trying to reinvent the wheel; it's them fixing an annoyance that's existed since jab saws became a thing.

The Klein Tools 31757 comes as a kit with two interchangeable blades right out of the box. We're talking 6 TPI to 24 TPI range, so you can handle drywall, plastic, wood, and even metal without swapping tools or making a trip to the truck. The blades are reciprocating saw-compatible and swap out tool-free with a blade lock, which means less time fumbling and more time working.

Here's where it gets interesting: the saw has dual locking positions. You can lock it at 180 degrees for full extension when you need maximum reach, or click it into 125 degrees for tight spaces where a full blade would be overkill. That's the kind of versatility that matters when you're cutting in awkward spots or making precise cuts in finished spaces.

The handle folds neatly with blades up to 6 inches, so it packs down small enough to throw in your bag without worrying about it. When folded, it's compact enough for convenient storage but substantial enough that you're not dealing with a flimsy pocket-knife situation.

Klein put an ergonomic overmolded handle on this thing that feels natural in your hand. It's not just marketing speak; the grip is designed to reduce fatigue during extended use, which matters when you're making multiple cuts or working overhead.

The flat, cushioned handle base is built for palming, giving you steady control and precision while cutting. If you've ever tried to make a clean plunge cut with a jigsaw that feels like holding a broomstick, you'll appreciate the difference a proper handle makes. The control you get from being able to palm the base translates directly into cleaner cuts and less cleanup work.

This new Klein Tools folding jab saw handles the jobs you'd expect: cutting drywall for outlet boxes, trimming plastic pipe, notching wood framing, and general demolition work. The interchangeable blade system means you're not limited to one material type, and the dual locking positions let you adapt to whatever space constraints you're dealing with.

For electricians running wire, plumbers cutting access holes, HVAC techs making duct openings, or general contractors doing renovation work, this folding design eliminates the "where did I put my saw" problem and the "my saw just punctured my tool bag again" frustration. It's ready to use, easy to store, and doesn't require babysitting to keep it functional.
